Determine the Structural and Optical Properties of ZnO Nanoparticles Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

Abstract

In this work ,zinc oxide nanoparticles(powder) with diameter 12.1 nm was prepared using Solvothermal Method. The structural and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles was studied by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy AFM, EDS, FTIR, UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and Flourometer spectrum. X-ray diffraction reveal the formation the purity of prepared phase of ZnO particles with hexagonal wurtzite structure . The energy dispersion scattering ( EDS) examination explains the ZnO nanoparticle is purity. The Atomic Force Microscopy ( AFM) shows the spherical shape of nanoparticles with diameter around 60 nm. The optical absorption spectral study identified the blue shift of the sample in comparison to bulk ZnO in three dimensions . fluorescence spectrum at room temperature confirms the strong UV emission around 397 nm and its indicate that the zinc oxide nanoparticles is a purity and don’t contain on a defects.
